Naval Academy officials said Monday that they hope to be parking cars in a new garage in December or January.

Construction on the two-story parking garage began in May 2015, but came to a halt this spring due to issues with the mixture and pouring of concrete.

The second story of the garage was deconstructed because of those issues earlier this summer, academy spokesman Cmdr. David McKinney said Monday.

The prime contractor for the garage project, Costello Construction, is in the process of pouring concrete, McKinney said.

“We hope to be parking cars there in December or January,” McKinney said.

The garage is being built on the parking lots to the Naval Academy Club and Alumni Hall. The 124,000 square-foot-garage will have 368 spaces, adding 65 spaces to the yard’s capacity.

The parking garage is the first phase of a plan to build the new cyber security building, Hopper Hall. The academy has said it expects the building to be completed by September 2019. It's unclear if the delay in the parking garage will affect the completion date for the last building to be constructed on the yard.
